There lived a Milkman in a small village. the milkman used to have many cows, The milkman used to earn his living by selling the cow's milk. The milkman had a beautiful daughter named Mary. One day the milkman fell ill and was unable to go to the market to sell the milk. He called his daughter and told her to go to the market to sell the milk and with that money buy som fresh food and medicines for him.
Soon Mary was on her way to the market to sell some milk from her cow. As she carried the large jug of milk on top of her head, she began to dream of all the things she could do after selling the milk."With that money, I'll buy a hundred chicks to rear in my backyard. When they are fully grown. I can sell them at a good price at the market."As she walked on, she continued dreaming, "Then I'll buy two young goats and feed them with green leaves and grains. When they are fully grown, I can sell them at an even better price!"
Still dreaming, she said to herself, "Soon, I'll be able to buy another cow, and I will have more milk to sell. Then I shall have even more money..."With these happy thoughts, she began to skip and jump. Suddenly she tripped and fell. The jug broke and all the milk spilt onto the ground. No more dreaming now, she sat down and cried.
